TriStar Arms Cmp Tact Black Shotgun

The TriStar CMP Tactical Black 12/20 is a semi-automatic shotgun engineered for tactical operations, home defense, and specialized training scenarios. Built on a gas-operated platform, this 12-gauge delivers reliable cycling across a broad spectrum of ammunition—from light field loads through full-power 3-inch magnums and 1 1/8-ounce slugs—without manual adjustment. The 18.5-inch barrel and 30-inch overall length position this compact tactical shotgun for rapid target acquisition in confined spaces while maintaining ballistic capability.

The TriStar CMP features a removable choke system using Beretta/Benelli Mobil threads, shipping with one extended ported cylinder-bore choke tube optimized for slug accuracy and close-quarters performance. Equipped with a fixed carry handle incorporating integrated iron sights, flip-up front and rear sight elements, and dual 5-round magazines, this tactical 12-gauge minimizes setup time on the job. The rubber recoil pad reduces operator fatigue during extended shooting sessions, while sling mounts enable rapid deployment and hands-free carry configurations. At 13.44 pounds, the weight distribution supports manageable recoil impulse without sacrificing control.

This platform serves tactical units, law enforcement trainers, and home defense operators who demand ammunition versatility and predictable performance. The interchangeable ammunition capability eliminates the need for separate firearms when transitioning between buckshot, slug, and specialty rounds—a critical advantage in dynamic threat environments. The fixed sight system provides immediate accuracy without battery dependency, while the Mobil thread compatibility ensures future choke customization aligns with evolving operational requirements.

The compact tactical shotgun category emphasizes maneuverability and terminal performance in high-stress scenarios. The TriStar CMP balances a proven gas-operation design with modern ergonomic enhancements, positioning it as an accessible option for operators transitioning from pump-action platforms or building a secondary breach-capable firearm. The included dual-magazine setup and carry handle sling points reflect practical field considerations familiar to teams operating in barrier-rich environments.
